Chapter 1667: Desire For Victory

Chapter 1667: Desire for Victory

Luther left Felix's place and returned home. By the time he got back, it

was already 2:00 in the morning. He pushed open the door and walked

in. Joyce was already asleep, curled up in bed. He walked over, took off

his clothes, and held her in his arms, falling asleep with her. Joyce

woke up drowsily and asked, "You're back." "Mm." He lightly kissed her.

"Sorry to disturb you. Go back to sleep.” He turned off the night light,

and with her in his arms, she felt especially at ease. Soon he fell asleep

too. They slept until almost 9:00 in the morning.

When Joyce woke up, she exclaimed, "Oh my god, it's so late. Today is

Andres’ kindergarten open house, and I filled out the form beforehand

to attend. It starts at ten o'clock. It's almost nine now!" Luther got up

with her and hugged her. “It's okay, we'll make it. I'll go with you." Joyce

looked back at him and glared, "Of course you're going. This is a formal

open house, and other parents will be there. We can't let Andres down.”

"Okay." Luther picked her up from the bed and carried her into the

bathroom. "Yes, ma'am. Hurry up and wash up."

After washing up, Joyce picked out a simple suit to wear. She was

about to change when Luther stopped her and said, "Don't wear this

one, wear this one." Joyce saw the clothes that Luther brought out and

was stunned. It was casual wear from a military uniform, which was

much more casual and relaxed than a formal military uniform, but it still

had shoulder badges. She often saw her mother Cecelia wearing it.

Before coming to Khebury, Cecelia had also prepared a few sets for her

and brought them over, but she thought she wouldn't need them.

"Wear this one? Why?" Joyce couldn't understand.

"Since it's the first time we're going to the open house, we have to

make a good impression for Andres. You wearing a military uniform will

make sure no one bullies him in the future.” Luther handed her the

clothes. "Hurry up and change. There's no time to hesitate. We're

almost late.”

Joyce hesitated, feeling a bit embarrassed, but under Luther's urging,

she didn't have time to think too much and changed into the casual

military uniform. Luther chose a blue suit, looking handsome and

unparalleled.

They arrived in the living room, and Mr. Arnold saw Joyce in the military

uniform for the first time. His eyes lit up, full of admiration. He said, "Mr.

Warner, Mrs. Warner, Aaron has already taken the young master to

Dewey Noble Kindergarten. Please have breakfast."

Luther looked at the time, pulled Joyce to sit down, and said, "Have a

little something to eat. We'll make it." "Mm." Joyce drank a glass of

milk, ate some croissants, and had a few bites of corn salad. Luther

had a bowl of porridge.

They left the Warner residence and Luther drove them to Dewey Noble

Kindergarten. On the way, Joyce asked, "How's Felix doing after last

night?" Luther shrugged, "Ha, he's troubled by love, and he brought it

on himself."

"Why do you sound so schadenfreude? He's your friend after all,”

Joyce scolded him.

"Women who want to marry him are lining up. In the past, he's broken

many girls’ hearts. He's always just playing around and never serious

with anyone. I never thought he would fall for Vicki in the end. It serves

him right. If you eat too much sweet, you'll want something spicy

eventually, but he never expected to get burned himself,” Luther shook

his head helplessly. He had told Felix to be more restrained.

When Felix was determined to pursue Vicki, Luther had advised him

not to provoke her easily. But he didn't listen, so he only had himself to

blame. Taming the wildest horse required a painful price.

"Oh. They've been together for four years, right?" Joyce was surprised

at first, but then she thought it made sense. She only learned about it

after returning to Khebury.

"Why haven't they gotten married yet? Is there pressure from the

Saunders family?" Joyce asked.

Luther shook his head. "It's Vicki who doesn't want to get married. Felix

has been begging her to marry him for two or three years now, but Vicki

just won't agree."

"Oh." Joyce was initially surprised, but after thinking about it, it was in

line with Vicki's personality. She couldn't interfere in other people's

relationships. Only the individuals involved knew their own feelings and

reasons.

"When should I go see Vicki and ask about her situation?" Joyce

looked outthe window. The sunlight was perfect, and the scenery was

flying by.

“Not for now,” Luther suddenly said.

"Why?" Joyce was puzzled.

In fact, Luther didn't want to rush into things. Vicki had a certain

connection with Christian, and this matter was also related to Athena.

He wanted to wait a little longer, until he had a better understanding of

the situation.

“I'll go see her. I'm investigating Iris's case, and I want to ask if she

knows anything,” he made up an excuse.

Joyce thought about it and agreed. After all, Christian had saved her

before, and Vicki had deliberately deceived him. Perhaps she could find

some clues from Vicki.

"Okay," she nodded.

Luther put his hand on her leg. "With me here, you can rest assured

and take care of yourself. I don't want you to worry too much.”

Joyce nodded. She had been easily tired lately. This time she was

pregnant with twins, and she had to do her best to protect them. She

couldn't afford any mistakes, so she entrusted everything to Luther.

They arrived at Dewey Noble Kindergarten.

The principal greeted them personally at the door to welcome today's

visitors. Several cars were already parked in front of the kindergarten

hall, and everyone who got out of the cars was dressed up.

When Luther's car arrived, the security guard immediately opened the

door. Luther got out of the car first, and then Joyce followed. When she

appeared in her military uniform in front of everyone, there was a

collective gasp. Those well-dressed ladies couldn't help but cover their

mouths with their hands.

So cool, so handsome.

They had heard that the son of the Capital's young marshal was

coming to Dewey Noble Kindergarten to study, but they had never seen

the young marshal himself. They didn't expect to see him today.

Just by looking at his clothes, they were all outdone.

How could a red dress compare to a military uniform?

Even if they were dressed up, they couldn't compare to the heroic and

sharp appearance of a military uniform.

Not only the women, but the men present were also stunned. The way

they looked at Luther was full of envy.

The principal came forward enthusiastically, bowing and shaking

hands. "Mr. Warner, young marshal, welcome, welcome."

The kindergarten's biggest sponsor, Mr. Warner, the first female young

marshal of Pascaylia, had graced the kindergarten with her presence. It

was simply radiant.

Luther nodded slightly, and Joyce held his arm and smiled warmly.

Looking at all the admiration and envy around them, she now

understood why Luther wanted her to wear this outfit. It was not only to

give Andres face, but also because he wanted to show off.

This man's vanity and desire for victory...

Unbelievable!
